# Rare Emu – Barbecued in Honey Sriracha Sauce Special

Hey there, fellow foodies! 🌟

I’m super excited to share a recipe with you today that’s not only a conversation starter but also a delicious, healthy treat! We’re stepping out of the usual chicken-and-beef zone and trying something a bit more adventurous – Rare Emu Barbecued in Honey Sriracha Sauce. Trust me, it’s a flavor explosion that you won’t want to miss!

Before you raise an eyebrow, let me tell you that emu is a wonderful, lean meat packed with protein and nutrients, making it an excellent choice for Healthy Food Recipes. Plus, it’s an exciting way to shake up your typical BBQ routine!

## Ingredients:

– 2 Emu filets (about 8 oz each)
– Salt and pepper to taste

**For the Honey Sriracha Sauce:**
– 1/4 cup honey
– 3 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust according to your heat preference)
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

## Instructions:

### Step 1: Prepping the Emu

1. **Season the emu filets** with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature while we prepare our zesty sauce.

### Step 2: Making the Honey Sriracha Sauce

2. **Mix the marinade:** In a bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and lime juice. This sweet and spicy combo is not only great for this recipe but also perfect for a range of Healthy Food Recipes for your BBQ adventures.

### Step 3: Marinating the Emu

3. **Marinate the meat:** Pour about half of the sauce over the emu filets, making sure they’re well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes – the longer, the better! (If you can, aim for a couple of hours in the fridge.)

### Step 4: Time to Grill

4. **Get your grill ready:** Preheat your barbecue to high heat. Brush the grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Emu, like other exotic meats, cooks quickly due to its lean nature, so you don’t want to overcook it.

5. **Grill the emu:** Place the emu filets on the grill. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes – you’re aiming for medium-rare. Overcooking can make the meat tough, and we want to keep it tender and juicy.

### Step 5: Glazing and Resting

6. **Glaze with sauce:** During the last minute of grilling on each side, brush the remaining sauce over the filets for that extra layer of flavor.

7. **Rest the meat:** Once done, transfer the emu to a cutting board and let it rest for around 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, keeping your meat moist and flavorful.

### Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

8. **Slice and serve:** Slice the emu filets against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. I love pairing this with grilled veggies or a fresh mixed greens salad for a complete Healthy Food Recipe that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
